Empty cup.

Not owing anyone an explanation for prioritizing your peace is something I have spoke about many times, and will continue to do so.

So many times in my life I have put others ahead of myself and it was only I who suffered because of it. Now, I’m not saying to never help those who need it, I’m not saying be selfish.

What I AM saying, is to make sure your prioritize yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup, right? So if you’re running on fumes, how on earth are you able to help others with anything?

So the next time you’re overwhelmed, ignore that text/phone call.

The next time you need rest, cancel those plans and stay in for the night.

The next time you just don’t feel like it, don’t.
